HOPEWELL HIGH SCHOOL
Dedicated
. ... to our old friends, the Alumni of
Hopewell High, whose never lagging
loyalty has been an inspiration to us.
There is no friend like an old friend
Who has shaded our morning days;
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise.
Fame is the scentless sunflower
With gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the blushing rose
With sweets in every fold.

p HIS YEAR the “Kaleidoscope” has not had the good for-
• tune to issue a monthly school paper. Instead, we have
5 published in the local paper a page under the title
“School News,” notes, and current events. This page
was made possible through the courtesy of Mr. Law¬
rence, local editor, who cooperated with members of
the staff to give the students an interesting section in the
“Hopewell Daily News.”
This publication brings to a close the work of the present
staff. To the members of the incoming staff of 1933-34 we wish
success in all their endeavors.
We wish to thank Mr. Smith, our sponsor, for his earnest
efforts to help us. He has devoted much time in our behalf and
the success of our annual is due in a large measure to his efforts.

RADUATION .... how many times have
we heard this expression in the past few
weeks? Graduation! .... What does it
mean? That four short, busy, happy
years have passed and we stand with our
classmates ready to receive our diplomas
from our dear Alma Mater, the goal of every high
school student’s heart. Though we have looked
forward to this event for four years, there is a
sadness mingled with happiness. Sadness in the
breaking of bonds of friendship that we have
made with classmates and the faculty during our
high school career.
We are leaving surroundings that we have
known and loved so long, kind faculty members
wrho have labored with and advised us, dear class¬
mates who have shared our joys and sorrows.
The fact that we have come thus far indicates
our interest and determination to go forward and
attain something of the success that awaits those
who merit it. We do not want to stop short of
the highest and best in life.
There is but one straight road to success and
that is merit. The person who is successful is
the person who is useful. Life does not lack op¬
portunities. It is for us to discover and use them.

Freshman
T LAST the inevitable and much-longed for event had
happened. We (the present Senior class) had entered
the Freshman Class with joy in our hearts. In spite
of the scornful glances and stinging cries of “rats” in
our ears, we were very, glad to say that we had at last
entered Senior High School. Due to the size of our
class we were divided into two sections, with Miss Bertha Rob¬
ertson and Mrs. Dessie Robinson as our homeroom teachers.
They were very sympathetic and helpful to us, as they realized
what a “rat” has to go through with. Indeed, it is very doubtful
if we could have so successfully completed our Freshman year
without their help and guidance.
We were all striving with zeal and perseverance toward
one all-important goal .... promotion to our second year, when
we would no longer be shy and timid Freshies but dignified and
important Sophomores.
We were very proud of “our” teams that year. Hopewell
High School football and baseball teams won second place, and
the basketball team won first place in conference games in the
Southside Virginia Athletic Association.
And thus, our Freshman year drew suddenly to a close.
There was the ordeal of our examinations and then we emerged
. . . . all-important Sophomores.
* * H* * #
Sophomore
We entered our Sophomore term with hearts full of hope
for a very successful year. The first trying year was over, and
we were about to begin on the second year of our journey through
High School. We were still divided into two sections, this time
under Mrs. Julia Parrish and Miss Bertha Robertson.
The various athletic teams, and also the debating team, had
a very successful season during our Sophomore year.
We had by this time fully adjusted ourselves and were well
acquainted with the teachers and the various rules and regula¬
tions which governed the school and its activities. This accom-
CLASS HISTORY— Continued
plished, and our dreaded Freshman year behind us, we buckled
down and accomplished some real work. As a result of this,
and the splendid cooperation of our teachers, our Sophomore
year was very successful.
Examination time rolled around again and almost before we
knew it, school was out and we were .... Juniors ! We had pass¬
ed the half-way mark of our time in High School ; we were half¬
way to the goal of our four years of hard work . . . Graduation !
— Mary Stephenson.

Junior
As we entered the role of Junior it was with a feeling of
satisfaction for we had endured and conquered the hardships of
our Freshman year. The undignified Sophomore days were past.
We had successfully weathered the stormy seas of education
for two years and safely reached the haven of responsibility.
We were Juniors !
Our life was one of ceaseless activity for we had to feed
the hungry Seniors at the Annual Banquet. It is with modest
pride that we point out that the banquet, for which we worked
so hard, was a huge success. The contented looks on the faces
of the Seniors was positive proof of the merit of the banquet.
The high school minstrel was highly successful, despite
the depression. The mock minstrel was enthusiastically sup¬
ported and according to custom the proceeds went to the benefit
of the Junior-Senior Banquet.
This, our Junior year, saw the birth of a new club called
the Dramatic Club under the direction of Mr. Smith and Mr.
Ellis. Much interest was shown and the several productions
of the club were immensely enjoyed.
We had a highly successful athletic year. In basketball
the defeat of Petersburg by our boys and girls in a double header
took the spotlight. The girls won nine games, lost one, and tied
the second game with Petersburg.
Our football team enjoyed the best season in its history.
The schedule was the hardest ever faced by a Hopewell team.
Despite this only thirteen points were scored against the Blue
Devils, and the team was rated as one of the best defensive
CLASS HISTORY— Continued
teams in the State. Hopewell defeated Newport News, who then
finished the season undefeated and were awarded the Class A
Championship of the Virginia Athletic League.
The Junior Class was well represented in Debating, with a
member on each team. The trip to Charlottesville was lost by
a few points. Hopewell was represented at Charlottesville by
our public speakers who were both in our class.
In baseball we were successful in halting the winning streak
of Petersburg. This is an accomplishment to be proud of, as
they had won twenty-two games in succession.
Thus closed our Junior year which was one of the most
successful in the history of the school and we are proud of the
part we played in it.

Senior
Our memories as Seniors would cover much space and con¬
sume much time so we will hit only the high lights.
At the beginning of the year a petition was presented to
Mr. Mallonee requesting the reorganization of the Literary clubs.
Mr. Mallonee promptly took the necessary steps and now the
two Societies are firmly established.
This year the campaign for president of our Student Body
was the hardest fought in the history of the school. Speakers
went from room to room praising their candidate. This was
stopped as it caused too much disturbance. The election that
resulted was so close that it had to be run off several times.
The high light of a successful athletic year was the football
team. This item was undefeated and claimed the Independent
State Championship. The happiest day of the year was when
we upset all traditions and beat Petersburg.
Our class was well represented in all student activities, es¬
pecially in the clubs, debating and all the sports.
At the beginning of the year a Carnival was given. This
was a huge success. The school was full to overflowing with
joy-seeking people.
The annual minstrel was the best ever produced by the
school. It played to a full house for the entire two days it ran.
Page Eleven
CLASS HISTORY— Continued
The Mock Minstrel which followed was the source of much
merriment. There was much sarcasm employed and it enhanced
the entertainment greatly.
Something new was tried by the school this year. A Beauty
Pageant was held with the girls sponsored by the merchants
and the school clubs. This was one of the beauty events of the
year and was highly appreciated by the audience. The proceeds
went to the “Kaleidoscope.” The success of the event was due
to the hard work of members of the staff and several teachers
whose services were invaluable.
This issue of the annual is not an entire product of the
Senior Class. Mr. Smith, our sponsor, suggested that several
of the lower classmen be on the staff so that they might have
the experience for their Senior year. This suggestion was ap¬
proved by the Senior class in the interest of bigger and better
school annuals.
We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Burch, Mr. Mal-
lonee, and each teacher who has assisted us to successfully com¬
plete our courses in high school. Our fondest memories shall be
of you. You worked hard to help us, and now as we are ready
to leave you, you can see in our actions the result of your work.
What you have meant to us, we can not express in words. With
a great appreciation of what you have done for us we bid you
good-bye !
We have safely reached the summit of the mountain of
High School Education. As we stand on the top gazing into
the unknown, we know that we shall be ready to play the hand
that fate shall deal in the great game of life. The game will be
played with earnestness, sportsmanship and honor — a direct
reflection of our high school life. In a few short days we shall
step off the mountain and down the other side to part the curtain
on the stage of life.

(HlasB Propljprg
AVING completed my day’s work at the office earlier
than usual, I was on my way home when I glimpsed a
fortune teller’s sign hung just outside a neat brick
and stucco building.
Being a woman gifted with a creditable amount of
curiosity, my restless eyes glanced again at the intri¬
guing board. This second glance, alas, proved to be my undoing.
Voila! I entered.
A turbaned attendant immediately took my card. There
was something vaguely familiar about his features, but as he
silently beckoned to me, I quickly followed him into an apart¬
ment which fairly reeked with mysticism. Then he silently dis¬
appeared, as the heavy drapes covering the entrance fell to¬
gether in sinuous folds. It seemed that they severed all my
connections with the outside world.
At last I was face to face with my fate, and ... a huge
crystal ball, which seemed to render every other object in the
room inconspicuous, as the only source of illumination seemed
to eminate from the ball itself with an unearthly glare.
I perceived a wizened and bewhiskered face just opposite
the table upon which rested the crystal. He was gazing into
its clear depths from beneath beetling brows, and neither moved
nor spoke until I was seated.
Then his voice came to me with a peculiar strained intensity.
“Ah !” he said, “already I have fathomed the purpose of
your interview. The crystal has told me. In the ten years that
have passed since you and your classmates have graduated, many
things have happened ! Look!”
I gazed at the ball whose depths were becoming faintly ob¬
scured by a swirling cloud. As it cleared I saw Morris Aderholt
and Waller Lescure deliver the final smashing drives which
made them international doubles tennis champions. Richard
Frye and Bernard Storey were co-writers of the event for the
Associated Press. Among the frenzied gallery I could see the
former Dorothea Nevils, now the wife of John Djiovanidis, prom¬
inent Syracuse contractor. Among others of the socially prom¬
inent were George Munt, ex-playboy of Broadway, and his fiance,
Eleanor Bridges.
A cloud of smoke from a huge Oriental urn engulfed the
crystal, and as it cleared again, the hard glare and contrasting
CLASS PROPHECY— Continued
green of a baseball diamond was revealed . . . the Yankees and
the Cardinals in the last stages of the pennant game ! The white
sphere sailed gracefully over the fence, making the sixty-second
home run for Steve Belcher, who was the Cardinal’s star bats¬
man. This play clinched the pennant as Belcher was preceded
across the plate by Ruben Lewis. The umpire was John Kennedy.
Seated in the grandstand were Josephine Burchett, Mary Harris,
and the former Blanche Forney accompanied by her young son,
William McKaig, Jr.
The scene faded, and was replaced by a large office building
in Richmond, Virginia. A suite of rooms was occupied by the
law firm of Marsden Wallace and Stanley Burt. They employed
Mary Stephenson and Roxie Johnson as secretaries. Among
their wealthy clients were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wells (the former
Helen Marks). Mr. Wells was suing Mervin Gage for alienation
of affections.
On the ground floor was a large drug store occupied by
Robert Buren with Bill Cleere, his chief pharmacist. Their
greatest source of profit was 3.2 beer which was manufactured
in Washington by the brewing firm of Clyde Collins and Paul
Kislik.
Again the scene changed, and I saw in the crystal ball the
interior of Roxy’s Theatre in New York City. As the light
flashed upon the silver screen, Courtland Kennedy and Clara
Faw were billed in one of the coming attractions by the produc¬
tive genius, Elroy Phillips. In the vaudeville feature, Helen
Mifka, Velma Via, and Nellie Layne were starred in the current
Broadway success. Inex Cox led the performance by her rendi¬
tion of one of the popular “torch” songs. The next feature was
a fashion parade. Iris Foster and Dot Lewis led the mannequins
displaying the latest creations of Charles Elliott, designer of
fashionable women’s dresses and exquisite underwear.
As the scene gradually dissolved, my mind reverted to the
old familiar streets of Hopewell. Immediately my thoughts were
reflected in the kaleidoscopic crystal.
In the now enlarged high school building, Alice Gilliam was
teaching a large English class. Helen Charvat was at the head
of the history department; while Mary Virginia Jarvis was in¬
augurating a new routine in the girls’ Physical Ed. class. As
a worthy successor to Miss Fannie Lewis, Maribel Higgins was
playing the inevitable march for the chapel period.

CLASS PROPHECY— Continued
As the panoramic vista continued I saw the much improved
business section of the town. In the town’s most fashionable
beauty parlor Betty Avent was supervising a facial massage
for Ruby Broyhill, who was to be married to Floyd Morris that
week.
In the municipal building Louise Burnett was employed as
notary public stenographer, which was superintended by Welden
Lamb. Otis Thompson headed the Retail Merchants’ Associa¬
tion, while Virginia Hughes was City Treasurer. Adolph Ma-
kovsky was one of the rising young local attorneys. Larry Cur¬
ran was in line for City Engineer and was discussing his pros¬
pects for success with Archie Martin, chief of Hopewell’s police
force.
In one of the outstanding dry goods companies, Otilla Here-
tick was at the head of the buying department, and in the same
building Annie Daniel edited the local Society Column, while
Arietta Killinger was employed as private secretary to the editor
of the paper.
At the Hopewell Armory Wilson Mifka was drill instructor
and had just assigned fatigue duty to one of his most trouble¬
some privates, Tracy Miner.
In one of the large industrial corporations, Robert Elmore
was chief of anylytical chemistry.
As the mystic passed his supple hands across the surface
of the crystal, I seemed to see powerful wings rushing through
the air.
Then the interior of a transatlantic passenger airplane be¬
came apparent. Glancing at the resourceful and composed fea¬
tures of the stewardess, Christine Parker, I saw that she was
serving one of the passengers a frosted glass of ginger ale..
The plane landed at a huge airport which was surrounded
by dense green, tropical plants and trees. One of the uniformed
attendants who hurried out to assist the passengers was Conrad
Martin.
I looked again at the dense foliage of the surrounding trees.
Why, this is Africa ! Yes, there was a group of ferocious looking
natives lounging in the shade of one of the nearby hangers. As
medical missionaries, Durward Stowe and Katie Forrest were
engaged in an animated conversation with them.
After this scene faded, the salon of a great ocean liner grad¬
ually materialized in the center of the globe. Herbert Powell

CLASS PROPHECY— Continued
was efficiently shaking a cocktail behind the bar. Resplendent
in a natty officer’s uniform, Buster Lazenby fairly shone as he
conversed with one of the lady passengers.
Now a South American seaport occupied the center of the
ball. In the magnificent postoffice building Evelyn Hamilton
was classifying international mail.
Near the outskirts of the town, and in a well isolated brick
and steel building, Robert Jerrel, forearms expert for the gov¬
ernment was experimenting with a newly designed revolver.
Down on the curving waterfront a trim fishing smack had
just anchored. It was Captain Graves Lee bringing in his cargo
of fish.
Deep in the Argentine interior Helen Rogers was engaged
in statistical work for the recently organized Child’s Welfare
Association.
The medium’s crystal now took me to the snow-capped
peaks of Alaska. In one of the prosperous trading concerns,
Virginia Johnson was busily discussing the details of an ex¬
change of goods with an Eskimo chief.
In charge of the transportation department of a large Alas¬
kan mining concern Mathew Slovick was supervising the over¬
hauling of a three-ton truck.
As I gazed, another mountain scene presented itself to me.
This time it was a popular girl’s camp deep in the Adirondacks.
Ruby Lapin was instructing a few novices in swimming. At the
entrance to one of the dormitories I could see Dolly Keller, camp
dietician, giving her approval of the items on the daily menu
card.
The misty clouds in the crystal ball seemed to evaporate
with a final swirl, and the globe became merely a crystal ball
again. My seance was ended.
The magician arose and I placed five dollars in his out¬
stretched hand.
“My assistant, Mr. Burke Carpenter, will see you to the
door,” he said.
Concealing my surprise, I turned to leave, but my eyes were
arrested by the sight that met them as the medium deftly re¬
moved his turban with one sweep of his arm. He then divested
himself of an excellent set of false whiskers and bushy eyebrows.
Astounded and hardly able to believe my eyes, I fled.
It was Chalmer Pritchard !

Class Poem
TEMPUS FUGIT”
(Time Flies)
When J recall that half my youth is past,
That each new year, much nobler than the
last,
Has taught me in a conscientious way,
To reap the fruits of education’s pay —
Though not quite aged yet,
I still cannot forget —
O Tempus fugit . tempus fugit.
When I ask God to grant this thing to me:
To make me always wise enough to see
The glory of our Alma Mater’s name:
To always speak of it in highest fame —
My heart in rapture swells,
Pride in me ever dwells,
O Tempus fugit . tempus fugit.
When I thank God for what he’s done for
me :
To help me grasp the opportunity
Of education in our modern day —
My spirit, o’ercome, can say:
Soar high, my soul,
Attain thy goal,
O Tempus fugit . tempus fugit.

Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society
HE EDGAR ALLAN POE Literary Society has had a
very successful year, considering the fact that we were
late in getting started. Our Sponsor, Mrs. Thompson,
has been very efficient. Although the greater part
of our society was composed of Freshmen, we trust that
this bodes success for the society of next year. How¬
ever, the Freshmen were not slow in giving their support, and
we trust that they will always do so. Our programs have proved
quite interesting and instructive.
The society has been meeting every fourth Monday and
every second Wednesday. The officers of our society were as
follows :
President _
First Vice-President __

Sidney Lanier Literary Society
During the 1932-33 school semester the Sidney Lanier Lit¬
erary Society has been very active. Miss Williams and Mr. Lead-
better were chosen as sponsors. Miss Williams directed a play,
“Bargains in Cathay,” which was enjoyed by the entire student
body.
CLUBS AND SOCIETIES— Continued
Debating comprised a major part of the club activities dur¬
ing the year and two of the Society members, Billy Green and
Waller Lescure, were on the debating team.

The officers for the year were:
President _ Waller Lescure
First Vice-President _ Dorothy Lewis
Second Vice-President _ Chalmer Pritchard
Secretary-Treasurer _ . Inez Cox

We regret that we will lose many of our active members by
graduation, but we feel sure that with the cooperation of all
members we will make next year a banner year and choose for
our motto :
“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield''
* # * *
The Forensic Club
The Forensic Club of Hopewell High School under the spon¬
sorship of Mr. Leadbetter and Mr. Donahoe, has been very suc¬
cessful in its literary engagements this session.
The question chosen throughout the State this year for de¬
bate was “Resolved: That Congress should enact the Fess
Radio Bill allocating fifteen per cent of all broadcasting facilities
to education purposes exclusively.” Our affirmative team com¬
posed of Christine Parker and Waller Lescure did not lose a de¬
cision, and our negative team composed of Billy Green and Annie
Daniel lost only one. The girl reader, Virginia Peeples, won from
all her opponents. These five students were eligible to partici¬
pate in the state-wide contest held at Charlottesville.
Those who were not eligible to go to Charlottesville, but
who did win recognition in their local contests were Clara Faw,
girl speaker; William Kanak, boy speaker; and Stuart Rivenbark,
boy reader.
LAST MINUTE NEWS FLASH ! Christine Parker and Wal¬
ler Lescure, the Affirmitive Debating team, and Virginia Peeples,
girl reader, won Class B Championships in the State contests at
Charlottesville.

The work of the Home Economics Club this year has been
varied and has included all phases of home making. At the be¬
ginning of the year the club gave a party and initiated all the
new members.
The club rendered valuable assistance to the Red Cross. The
girls made four complete layetts and other garments. At Christ¬
mas they donated fruit for needy people.
Some of the club members substituted in the school cafe¬
teria during Mrs. Davis’ illness. This experience helped them
when they served lunch to the school board and later served a
dinner for the V. P. I. Club.
Many new books have been added to the department library ;
and new shrubs planted around the cottage.

Hopewell High School Library
Miss Goff, Librarian.
Our library has a collection of 2,494 books, 56 bound volumes
of magazines, and five newspapers, of which the Sunday New
York Times is one. New pamphlets and pictures have been added
to the vertical file, and we subscribe to 41 current magazines.
We have two bulletin boards which we change frequently
and on which we have material about vocations, birthdays of
famous people, holidays, and other interesting events.
Our library work is not limited to Hopewell High School
Library, but has been extended to B Village and Patrick Cope¬
land libraries through cataloging and classifying of new books,
and mending old books.
This year we gave a library play and received 150 good
books and money for new books and supplies. In addition to
this the school board gave us enough money to secure 200 new
books.

The Latin Department
The Latin Department has accomplished many things this
year. Each class has undertaken different projects and the re¬
sults have been most successful.
The Latin I classes made attractive May baskets and sent
to each home room. The Latin II classes presented two pro¬
grams in assembly which were thoroughly enjoyed. The Latin
IV class was most fortunate in getting Mrs. Makovsky to visit
them and speak to them on the early history of the Bohemians.
Several members of the Latin department wrote to Chur,
Switzerland, for facts concerning their early history. They re¬
ceived an answer written in Latin.
One of the most interesting projects of the Latin depart¬
ment was the exhibit given in Richmond, in which all classes
were represented.
The Latin seniors has as their project the publication of
“Alipes Nuntius.” The 1933 issue was one of the best ever
published.

Monogram Club
The Monogram Club is composed of boys who have won
letters in athletics. The club endeavors to further clean sport
and extend athletics in the school.
This year, as a project, with the aid of our new sponsor,
Mr. Smith, the club has started collecting pictures of the various
athletic teams since the beginning of Hopewell High. The pic¬
tures will be framed and hung in the hall.

2H-1 SOPHOMORES
Our Sophomore year in room 103 has been uneventful, but
it is one which will be pleasantly remembered by everyone in
the class. Our time has been filled with study and other ac¬
tivities.
This thing of being Sophomores has us down . in
the beginning Miss Burch put us in the basement, and there we
stayed. All our efforts to get higher in the building failed;
but you “can’t keep a good man down” in every way. We suc¬
ceeded so wrell in our studies that we made higher grades than
any other Sophomore class. We hope that in recognition of our
superior work we will go “higher up”. Along with our faithful
teacher, Miss Shumate, we are looking forward with pleasure
to thise “rise.”
2H-2 SOPHOMORES
The 2H-2 Class had room 314 as their home room, with Miss

OULD you care to turn the dial to Station 301 for a while
and see what they have done throughout the year? If
so, I will start broadcasting.
First: I will tell you how many pupils are in this
studio, so you may get an idea as to what to expect
from us. We have thirty-one pupils in this broadcast¬
ing station with Miss Agnes Bell as announcer, Hazel E. Leedy
as president, Donald Whitlock as representative, and Torsten
Peterson as secretary and treasurer.
Second: Station 301 sent out at Christmas time a large
basket of groceries decorated in Christmas paper and bits of
holly on top to make a cheerful Christmas for someone.
Third: We have tried to make and keep our station as
cheerful and sanitary as possible.
Fourth: We have been interested in all school activities,

and have taken parts in the many entertainments. We are now
trying to make a success of the coming Junior-Senior Banquet.

The Coaches
L. W. PARSON
Mr. Leslie Wright Parson, Athletic Director of Hopewell High School, came to us
in 1927 from William & Mary College where he had established a conspicuous athletic
record.
Coach Parson, or just “Coach,” as he is called by the boys, has served the school
faithfully for seven years. During this period he has instilled into the members of his
teams a clean fighting spirit that has become characteristic of Hopewell High. Through
his untiring efforts and constant study under famous football coaches of America, he
has raised Hopewell from the depths of athletic obscurity to a position that makes
the name of Hopewell “Blue Devils” something to be feared by opposing teams of
the state. We are very fortunate to have such a man as our coach, and we hope that
he will remain with us, and carry still higher the name of H. H. S.
A. S. THOMPSON
Mr. Alpheus Sitman Thompson, assist¬
ant coach and member of the faculty,
is a graduate of William & Mary Col¬
lege. Since 1928 he has worked hard
with Coach Parson to develop our teams.
NANCY DUPUY JOHNSTON
Miss Nancy Johnston, girls’ athletic
director, is also a graduate of William
and Mary. The records of her basket¬
ball teams and the reputation of our
girls for having high ideals prove her
to be an able coach and leader.

SUMMARY:
This year the season opened with little material on hand.
The team was slated to have an unsuccessful year, due to the
lack of experience of the players.
Coach Parson worked hard to teach the boys enough to hold
their own in a game.
The first game opened with Chester High on our own back
lot where they were trounced by the Blue Devils by the score
of 29-0. Practically the whole squad saw service in this game,
and we had started a season that was to end in the greatest
success for Hopewell High School.
Next, we motored to Newport News, and were greeted
by a revengeful team whom we had beaten the previous year
by a score of 6-0. The Typhoons were thought to be much
stronger than the Hopewell lads. In the first quarter the Ship¬
builders scored a touchdown which was not overcome until the
third quarter when Stowe, due to good interference of his team¬
mates, raced 40 yards for a touchdown. The game ended 6 all.
The following Saturday we encountered the South Norfolk
team at Norfolk and won a hard-fought game 6-0. This was
the third victory of the season and the boys were somewhat en¬
couraged by the record.
For the first time in the history of the school, Hopewell
High defeated the Fredericksburg Yellow Jackets on their home
ground. Though the game was slow and uninteresting, the Blue
Devils were on the large end of a 14-0 score.
Undergoing the strenuous schedule, the Hopewell lads went
up against two strong teams in three days, respectively, on a
trip that extended into five days. The Charlottesville Fives were
defeated by a score of 19-7 in a colorful, interesting and hard-
]M*--

fought game. Oliver, collecting all of his power, put the pigskin
over for two touchdowns after brilliant runs which added to the
interest of the game. This was the first game that the “Fives”
had lost to a high school on Virginia grounds.
Encouraged by the preceding victory, the Blue Devils work¬
ed hard to down the Alexandria team 25-0. The aerial attack
which netted most of the gains, baffled the opponents.
Playing on our heme ground for the first time in four weeks,
we entertained the strong Hampton team that had beaten us
for many years. Each player put out all he had in a hard-fought
game for honor and in the end we were on the large end of a
6-0 score.
Little force was needed to trounce the energetic team from
Clarendon. All scrubs were used in this game and showed up
well. After putting across the ball for a few touchdowns the
whistle blew for a 25-0 victory.
Came the greatest game of the season. The strong team
from Petersburg paid its visit to Hopewell to participate in the
annual game of the two great rivals. Before a crowd of 3,000
thrilled spectators, both teams fought brilliantly to take honors
for their respective schools. After many heart-breaking plays
“Buzz” Ford, Blue Devil end, received a short pass for the only
score of the game. Petersburg was unsuccessful with their
aerial attack and their noted lateral passes were smeared by
the hard-hitting Blue Devils. This was the first time that Hope-
well High School had ever defeated the Crimson Wave on the
gridiron.
Thus ended the greatest season in the history of H. H. S.
With a record of eight victories and one tie Hopewell claimed
the Independent State Championship, which was recognized by
the leading papers of the State. Due to the hard work of Coaches
L. W. Parson and A. S. Thompson, and the team itself, Hopewell
High School lays down a record that will long be remembered
in the minds of its supporters.

The 1933 baseball season opened with a scarcity of pitchers.
There were also many positions to be filled in the outfield and
infield due to the vacancies left by graduates in ’32. Working
with good prospects, Coach Parson has put on the diamond the
hardest hitting team in the history of H. H. S. All new boys
have shown up well and we hope before the season is over that
they will have filled their positions in excellent style. So far
this season the Blue Devils have won four games and lost five,
scoring 79 runs against their opponents 55. Playing good ball,
the Hopewell basebaii nine were only downed by a small margin
by three of the best Freshmen teams in the State. Being beaten
in a double-header in basketball by John Marshall, the Blue
Devils sought revenge Hbd trounced their baseball team by a
score of 15-1. We hope that the team will keep up the hard¬
hitting and roll up the runs that they have started.

Boys’ Basketball
With only a few veterans from last year the basketball team
had a very successful season, winning seven games and losing 15.
All games were interesting and hard fought, and in most of the
games Hopewell lost by only a few points. The Blue Devils went
up against the best teams in the State and held the State champ¬
ions to as few points as any other school in Virginia. We hope
that next year the team will be more successful and win the
victories that they fought so hard for this year.
